À propos de cet audio
Once an Eagle is the story of one special man, a soldier named Sam Damon, and his adversary over a lifetime, fellow officer Courtney Massengale. Damon is a professional who puts duty, honor, and the men he commands above self-interest. Massengale, however, brilliantly advances his career by making the right connections behind the lines and in Washington’s corridors of power.
Beginning in the French countryside during the Great War, the conflict between these adversaries solidifies in the isolated garrison life marking peacetime, intensifies in the deadly Pacific jungles of World War II, and reaches its treacherous conclusion in the last major battleground of the Cold War.
A study in character and values, courage, nobility, honesty, and selflessness, here is an unforgettable story about a man who embodies the best in our nation - and in us all.
Anton Myrer (1922–1996) enlisted in the US Marine Corps following the attack on Pearl Harbor and served for three years in the Pacific. Wounded on Guam, he returned to Harvard, graduated, and began an illustrious literary career, during which he wrote such memorable novels as The Big War, The Last Convertible, and A Green Desire.

Histoire
On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

On leadership and what it means to be a "Good Soldier"
So many of the challenges and difficulties and internal struggles of the characters resonated with me. The story itself is engaging and interesting. Throughout there are many astute observations about the world and what outcomes are expected. Highly recommed

A great novel and an excellent performance
One of my favorite books with an excellent and dramatic narration by Grover Gardner. I hope Audible will record some of Anton Myrer's other novels. A provbing look at Charature, Courage and Leadership. The contrast between the two main proponents brings them both to life. Highly reccomended.

A masterpiece
I listened to this book while working 12 hour shifts operating equipment. The hours flew by. There are so many vivid and unforgettable characters. The narration is excellent. I loved it.

Intense combat scenes, tame interwar years
I bought this book based off of Maj Richard Winters' recommendation in his book Beyond Band of Brothers. The protagonist is rather too idealistic to be realistic but there are good examples of leadership throughout the book. The combat scenes are vivid and intense but the interwar years don't provide much of a juicy story.

Annoying
The poor prestation of the narrator made sure I didn't get hung up on the book.
